David A. Bornn

As Chief Legal Counsel to the Governor of the Virgin Islands, David managed all law firms serving the USVI administration, and he directed much of the work undertaken for the Office of the Governor, the VI Public Finance Authority, and other governmental agencies undertaken by those outside firms. In his role as Chief Legal Counsel, he also served as an integral part of the territory’s Congressional and federal government relations team, as well as a part of the policy, strategy, and outreach working groups that crafted and conducted the initiatives led by the Virgin Islands executive branch with various federal and private funding sources, in the wake of the 2017 hurricanes and during the COVID-19 health and economic crises.

David provides a measure of continuity and inner knowledge of the intentions and needs of the Bryan/Roach Administration as he assists Winston with its continuing representation of the USVI Government and maintains access to key local players within the Virgin Islands Government and the Virgin Islands Legislature. He is familiar with all Virgin Islands Government department and agency heads, sub-heads, and many of the rank-and-file civil service workers key to achieving efficient results for clients. He continues to enjoy deep respect from the Governor and other senior officials serving in the current administration, as well as those in the Virgin Islands political establishment.
